Lorri   10 #85 Posted October 27, 2009 The Stonehouse was the starting point for us and we wore our suits for the nightclubs (shirts with collars, not jean/trainers rules unless you were off to the limit or rebels) but mainly we were only 17 when we started going out and we thought it made us look older. I too was 17 when we first stated going 'up town' on a Friday night, and I used to drink ginger ale I also remember we practiced our dates of birth as being a year earlier so that we could get into clubs.  What was the pub called near to the Stonehouse? We used to go round 4 or 5 pubs, one of them being the Pig & Whistle, before heading to a club or Wimpey for a burger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's still there - now they have tables outside in Orchard Square. Decent grub.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   33 #88 Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) It must be that one, but it had a different name didn't it  It was called the Museum when I became old enough to drink there in 1966 (and a bit earlier....). The 1973 Kelly's Directory lists "Museum P.H." at 25 Orchard Street. Edited October 28, 2009 by hillsbro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lorri   10 #90 Posted October 28, 2009 It was called the Museum when I became old enough to drink there in 1966 (and a bit earlier....). The 1973 Kelly's Directory lists "Museum P.H." at 25 Orchard Street. It seems it's had several changes of name over the years  Museum, City Centre, Sheffield Museum 25 Orchard Street City Centre Sheffield S1 2GX  Previously called the Hogshead, fully refurbished in February 2005 and re-named the Museum.

StJohn   10 #91 Posted October 28, 2009 It was the Museum, And For time there you could get in through the back door of the Stonehouse. So it was Stonehouse, Museum, The Pig then we would decide if iwe were going onto the Red lion then Golden Ball or over to the Brown Bear and down to the Mulberry route that night.  Oh Lorri, the whole idea of the suit was that we wouldn't have to drink ginger ale .....haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Steptoad   12 #96 Posted May 1, 2010 There's a picture on this not quite so old thread.  http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=520698&highlight=Stonehouse  This has just reminded me, I went out with one of barmaids from the Stonehouse for nearly three years. It was a great pub, I miss it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
